Default vtec-e swap

were puting in a z6 into a VX and i have a little problem. the car has four plugs going to the ecu but the z6 harness comes w/ only three. what do we need to do ? and also how do you switch from a 5 wire o2 sensor to a reg. 4 wire sensor.

well, if you are using a chipped ecu disable o2 heater and just run a 1 wire o2, or disable it alltogether like i did you will have to w/ boost anyways. im running my z1 w/ no o2.

Isn't the 5 wire o2 sensor more or less a wideband? Someone told me that once, but I could never verify it

it is a wideband, but i dont think anybody has found a way to use the OEM sensor in an aftermarket setup yet.
